Better Than Life

when the world is going blank
slowing down to a crawl
you've had all the baths you can usefully take
the paper says nothing at all
watch the clock, count the moments
moving on to 4 pm
try in vain to count your blessings
feel the malaise drag you in
if you could do it all over again
what would you decide
do you think that there's something out there
that's better than life
when the salmon of doubt is rising
and it sticks to your skin
you're growing eyes in the back of your head
and you keep on needles and pins
do you ever wonder whether
you could stand outside yourself
someone special, someone real
would you rather be someone else
when the weather is taking prisoners
there's a realization
you know in your heart you're gonna live forever
can't imagine a worse situation
do you ever wonder whether
you're gonna pay for the time you stole
as you tumble, will you enter
the long dark tea time of the soul
if you could do it all over again
what would you decide
do you think you'll find something out there
that's better than life
